Labor Day weekend is coming up and I hope you all are keeping an eye on the East Coast and Hurricane Earl if you live in the area or are headed that way. We won’t have much (if any) impact where I am in Georgia, but I will be thinking of all of you who are in its path! (Stay safe, please!)

Hurricane Earl

As of 11am EDT Tuesday Hurricane Earl was located about 1070 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina with top winds near 135 mph. Earl is a category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale. Some additional strengthening is possible over the next 24 hours.

Earl is moving toward the west-northwest at 14 mph, but should turn to the northwest by this evening. Hurricane Earl should pass well east of the Bahamas tonight through Wednesday night but will turn northward later Wednesday and could move toward the Carolina coastline Thursday. Hurricane Earl could threaten the Northeast and New England coasts Friday and Friday night.

A couple weeks ago I shared pictures of the Warner Robins girls softball team winning the regional title and heading for the softball World Series. This week it’s the boys turn! The Little League Southeast Region Tournament was played last week and a Georgia team is headed for the Little League World Series. The club from Columbus (Georgia) Northern rolled past Florida 9-2 at Southeast Park. The win sends Columbus Northern to the World Series in Williamsport, Pa., for the second time in five years. Columbus Northern won the world championship in 2006.

Before the games began…

Shade…. needed.. it was hot!!

Good crowd….

Congratulations! Good luck in Pennsylvania!

A heat index over 100 degrees did not stop people from attending a parade here recently honoring the members of the 48th Brigade and their return from Operation Enduring Freedom.

They made their way down Cherry Street and were welcomed back from service in Afghanistan during a ceremony at City Hall.

Members of the Vietnam Veterans of America saluted the troops…..

Their salute during the National Anthem….

The brigade’s commander welcomed the mayor "as a member of the tribe'' by dressing him in a traditional Afghan costume…..

It was their day…. they are our heroes….. My family and I appreciate them all……

The Warner Robins (Georgia) girls softball team won the region title and a return to World Series. I don’t have a daughter on the team, but wanted to say “Congratulations” anyway!

They beat Florida 10-2 in the championship game of the Little League Softball Southeastern Region Tournament.

Warner Robins now travels to Portland, Ore., with the hopes of becoming the first team since 2004 to successfully defend its Little League World Series title. (The Little League Softball World Series begins August 12).
